Episode Synopsis

Twenty years of marriage have taught me the profound beauty in creating traditions that speak love into the lives of those I cherish most. As I reflect on the personal journey of sticking heartfelt love notes on my children's doors, I'm joined by Nicole, a single mother whose perspective on Valentine's Day has evolved from one of sadness to an empowering celebration of gratitude and self-love. Together, we peel back the layers of this holiday, examining the tapestry of emotions it invokes and the significance of self-care amidst the month of love.Nicole and I then waltz through the delicate interplay of traditional gender roles and the empowerment of modern women, a dance as intricate as it is essential. We lay bare our thoughts on managing a household and nurturing children while fiercely holding onto our independence. Our dialogue spans from the influence of past generations to the present-day quest for balance in love and partnership. This episode isn't just a conversation; it's an exploration of the complexities of contemporary societal roles and what it means to both serve out of love and stand strong in one's convictions.Follow our journey on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fuel_for_thought_podcast/
